One leaf block and a lot of ironing

3/29/2025

I want to quilt some veterans quilts this weekend so yesterday I spent a couple of hours ironing a pile of quilt back laundry. I dyed all of these week before last and it was time to finally get them prepped. I'll get one loaded today with 2 veterans quilts.

After my ironing session I was outside in the beautiful weather raking up pine straw and pine cones for a while.

Then I got the first of 8 leaf blocks done for the Oak Moth quilt. This block wasn't nearly as tedious as I thought it would be. All the HST parts that I've sewn already was, by far, the worst part. If I focus, I can get all of the leaf blocks done this weekend.

I ended the day watching the last episode of Reacher and doing some crochet.

The leaf blocks are fun. I like the contrasting stem and veins.

Yesterday wasn't such a beautiful day here, but the two days before it were lovely. I am glad you had a good day to work outside.

It appears that you will have this quilt finished quickly now that the moths are done.

It had to feel good to get that ironing done. The leaf and moth blocks are pretty!

Nice to be able to get outside in good weather. We're still recovering from the ice storm although today is quite nice with actual sunshine. Better for the work crews trying to clean up the aftermath of the storm and for the hydro people trying to get the power back on.
